Does running a node require technical expertise or specialized hardware/software setup ?
Running a node on the Theta Network does require some technical expertise and specialized hardware/software setup.
Theta Network nodes are run on a distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform, which requires users to have an understanding of blockchain technology and how it works. Additionally, users must have access to specialized hardware and software in order to run a node. This includes a computer with sufficient processing power, storage capacity, and memory; an internet connection; and the necessary software for running the node.
The Theta Network also provides users with detailed instructions on how to set up their nodes, as well as tutorials and support from the community. This makes it easier for users who may not have much technical experience to get started running their own nodes. However, even with these resources, it is still important for users to understand the basics of blockchain technology before attempting to set up their own nodes.
